In the early hours of January 16th, 1991 7 B-52Gs launched fr om Barksdale AFB in Louisiana in complete secrecy to fire the first shots of Operation Desert Storm, using highly classified Conventional Air-Launched Cruise Missiles (CALCMs) against high priority targets in Iraq. The mission would remain classified for a year after the operation.
After 35 1/2 hours and 14,000 air miles, all 7 aircraft returned safely to Barksdale, completing the longest strategic bombing mission in history and marking the first time that bombers had taken off from the continental United States to strike targets halfway around the globe and return to their home station.
This livery represents a semi-fictional recreation of El Lobo II, Callsign Doom-37. Unfortunately, the reg numbers and camo scheme are incorrect due to limitations in the livery files. Thanks to all the hard work of ggrewe, Awacs_bandog, NRG-Vampire, waterman, Scoop, schorch71, and FoxyKemo for getting us wh ere we are so far.
